Mogan Mountain

Mogan Mountain, a summer resort with bamboo groves and over 200 villas in different architectural styles, exudes an atmosphere of relaxed but sophisticated charm. Continuing a tradition dating back to the 1920’s, the 21st century has seen foreigners design and build villas at the foot of the hills, complete with swimming pools and even the luxury of equestrian facilities.

Picture yourself shacking up in a villa for a few nights, wandering on horseback along a bamboo-shaded mountain path. With the rise of rural tourism and the accompanying improvement of conditions and services in the many “farmhouse bed-and-breakfasts,” even the most modest accommodations are surprisingly comfortable and artistically pleasing. For the more gastronomically adventurous, visitors can dig bamboo shoots in the woods, pick mushrooms from tree roots, catch crayfish in brooks and cook a simple meal for themselves in a firewood stove.

Spending a quiet night in a farmhouse and being greeted at dawn by a fresh breeze and chorus of bird song- this serenity and freshness is what city dwellers harassed by the hustle and bustle of urban life hanker after.
